[ Edited ]

Does anyone have a link to a program that will unbrick a WVC54GCA?

Let me know the actual concern that you are facing with the WVC54GCA camera? Does it disconnect from the rest of the network? Does it not showing the proper image?

After updating the firmware and resetting the camera to factory, nothing worked not even the blue light. No problem with the power suppy.

Re: Unbricking a wvc54gca

I have the very same situation. Mains charger is OK, but the camera doesn't power up, blue led won't came up, nothing happens when i connect it to the wall outlet. There is no support. How can I debrick reflash its firmware? Camera stopped working one day. Does anyone have a step by step tutorial how to disassamble this camera to see whats going on inside? linksys does not give any support for this camera, I called them a few weeks ago. I will not buy linksys camera again. This camera was very good until it stopped working. I am very sad about it. No more linksys product sorry...

I disassembled the camera and took some picture from the inside unit. If anyone interested I can publish. My unit is dead. Maybe need to short circuit the chip to reset it, like wrt54g or some routers. Reset button doesn't do anyhing.

The LEDs are lights up for 2-3 seconds. There are 4 LEDs inside but only two green LED and the main blue LED is lights up for a few seconds. The mains charger is OK, but the unit is dead. How to repair? Replace a capacitor? Dos anyone know how to repair my cam? I bought it for 150USD and I could use it for 1 year... Thanks Linksys... No warranty, no support.

Re: Unbricking a wvc54gca

I have a similar problem. The camera was working but somehow it stopped. When reconnecting power the blue light doesn't light up and I can't connect to the ip address. I tried resetting but nothing happens. Any suggestions?
